WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU!

Do you believe in sustainable living? In appreciating your community and your planet? In supporting ethical shopping, hometown farmers, eco-innovations? We do too! Planet Corp is the home for amazing posts created by MNNers who have successfully applied to be in MNN's Nest. To apply to be in our community, all you need to do is sign up for an account, make a post that you think would do well here, and send it our way. For tips on how to create posts that others will love, go here.

This is an ideal opportunity for anyone with experience in writing, editing or photography or anyone with an interest in environmental issues who is seeking hands-on experience. MNN combines unconventional original content alongside breaking environmental news from around the Web. We cover a wide range of issues, from wilderness issues to sustainable living. If the topic is of interest to people who love the environment, chances are we write about it — and you can, too.

We want reporters, photographers and videographers with the right combination of talent, interest and commitment. We want a wide range of people — students, professionals and beyond. Our system gives correspondents flexibility in scheduling because all of the work is done remotely.

Think this might be for you? Read on for more details and submit your resume and cover letter to local@mnn.com.

What will I do?

MNN local bloggers, photographers and videographers are vital to our operation. They work (virtually) alongside the MNN team as they write stories, share local environmental news and insights and produce YouTube clips or photo galleries. In addition, each correspondent has his own page on MNN, allowing him (or her) to discuss the most interesting environmental stories of the day.

This experience can be a good fit for students or professionals in journalism, environmental studies or architecture, and it can also work for writers who want a resume-building experience that might lead to a job in new or old media.

The particulars

• We accept applications for our contributers on a rolling basis.

• The program's focus is local and is run from your campus or hometown. Correspondents are encouraged to come up with their own topics to cover, and some assignments will be made.
